The current technologies for DWDM have really made it technology that's reasonably straight forward to deploy. The last generation was a nightmare! Tuneable optics, dispersion compensation, and ROADM have made a substantial difference to deploying and operating DWDM networks. I had experience with the former generation system from Nortel which although very reliable it was very resource intensive to deploy new services, the latest CPL technology from Nortel is a real breakthrough, for once a vendor has listened and understood the challenges for operators and actively addressed our concerns. -----Original Message----- From: Scott E.
